Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. He also has a slight fever and lacks energy. How should children with tonsillitis and a sore throat be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The treatment can involve giving the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment is recommended with laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital for treatment. Tonsillitis often recurs, and if the condition persists, surgery may be considered. It is advisable for parents to pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to prevention and health care.
